And as I started early, I'll end early. Thank you for putting up with the large dumpage of stories and videos I did today. :) I saved my very first video for my last post as a change of pace. We couldn't...you to my techboy, Samuel (my 13 year old son) who showed me how to do this and my video betas Jess and Michelle. I couldn't do it without you!) We bring you, Rupert Giles, Hero. Enjoy! 

And on the subject of angsty videos, here is my third video offering of the day. This one cranked the angst factor up off the charts. I can't even really explain what this is. It *is* a video, but it's...angst warning:    This is not happy or fluffy. This is how Rupert feels on those endless, dark nights when he's alone with his inner demons. Now that I've scared you, on to the video!

Here is my second video post for the day. This one is a bit more Angsty. Again, I think Rupert's been in a bit of a mood. This one is set to Evanescence's All that I'm living for . It seems to be Rupert's...for looking this over. And a big hug and special thanks to Michelle for the video beta and the new ending. (You rock, woman!) So we bring you, Rupert Giles; All that I'm Living For:

Now that we've finished with the text portion of our day, I bring you the first of my fanvideos. (I told you I had a lot of time on my hands.) I've wanted to do this for a while, but was sure I couldn't...son) and to my wonderful video betas, Jess and Michelle. You all are the best! This one is to Rascal Flatts' Stand .  Here is What He's Made Of; A Tribute to Rupert Giles :    Enjoy!

I'm going to break up the monotony a bit here. I was reading a story not that long ago where someone said that Rupert had blue eyes. I blinked a bit and then the idea came to me for this. It isn't that...I liked it. We hope you do too. (And a big thank you to whatever writer that was who inspired this!) It's kind of large and not vey impressive, but  Want, Take, Have, Use as you see fit.  

 This is my last story for the day and it's a bit odd. I think Rupert was attempting to entertain me with it. And I did laugh. We hope you do too. Title: Something To Think About  Author’s Name: The...a scrap piece of paper and a pencil. He ignored Rupert’s frequent glares. “Okay, what’s his name?” “His name is…” Rupert looked at the contract, making sure to get it right. “Joss Whedon.” The End

This is the final part of our Mages story. It's been great to be a part of this year's Summer of Giles. You wonder why Wesley hasn’t joined you yet. You look across to the couch and can see that...see the tension leaving his shoulders. “I suppose I won’t kill Ethan,” he says with a sigh. Both of you turn to look at Wes as he stirs and quietly moans. “Maybe I’ll just let Wes do it.”
